Court No. - 34
Case :- WRIT - A No. - 11316 of 2003 Petitioner :- Nand Kishore Gupta Respondent :- Joint Director, Pension A& Treasury Gorakhpur Circle & Ors.
Counsel for Petitioner :- I.P. Srivastava Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C.
Hon'ble Sudhir Agarwal,J.
1. Called in revise. None appeared to press this writ petition. Learned Standing Counsel is present for respondents. In the circumstances, I myself have perused the record.
2. By means of present writ petition, petitioner has sought following reliefs :
"(i) Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to pay the petitioner his pension and other post retiral benefits forthwith 18 % interest.
(ii) Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the respondent no.4 to decide the disciplinary proceeding pending against the petitioner in regard to loss in plantation programme, forthwith.
(iii) Issue any other writ, order or direction which this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper in view of the facts and circumstances of the case.
(iv) And award cost of the petition."
3. I myself have gone through the pleadings, grounds as also reliefs sought and find that petitioner is not able to make out a case so as to justify interference of this Court by granting reliefs, as prayed for.
4. Moreover, it appears that either the cause of action no more survives or the petitioner has lost interest in this matter or it has otherwise become infructuous and, probably for this reason, none is interested to have decided this matter on merits and that is why, counsel for petitioner is absent.
5. Dismissed. Interim order, if any, stands vacated.
